Adsorption of Pb2+ by Activated Carbon Produced by Microwave-Assisted K2CO3 Activation of Date Palm Leaf Sheath Fibres
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)Date palm trees generate large amounts of various types of waste, including leaf sheath fibres, which can be used as a low-cost precursor for the production of biochar, including activated carbon (AC), which can be employed ... -
Ameliorative role of dietary activated carbon against ochratoxin-A induced oxidative damage, suppressed performance and toxicological effects
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)The present study reports that dietary addition of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 g/kg activated charcoal (AC) in broiler feed contaminated with 0.15, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg ochratoxin A (OTA) showed a partial reduction in intensity of mycotoxins ... -
Conversion of a mixture of date palm wastes to mesoporous activated carbon for efficient dye adsorption
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2023 , Article)In this study, we aimed to develop mixture activated carbon (MAC) from a mixture of date palm wastes (petiole, rachis and fiber) through hydrothermal carbonization and microwave-assisted H3PO4 activation and evaluate its ... -
Evaluating community pharmacy practice in Qatar using simulated patient method: Acute gastroenteritis management
( Grupo de Investigacion en Atencion Farmaceutica , 2016 , Article)Objective: To evaluate Qatari pharmacists' prescribing, labeling, dispensing and counseling practices in response to acute community-acquired gastroenteritis. Methods: The simulated patient method was used in this study. ... -
Manganese-Loaded Activated Carbon for the Removal of Organosulfur Compounds from High-Sulfur Diesel Fuels
( WILEY-VCH Verlag , 2014 , Article)The adsorptive capacity of activated carbon (AC) is significantly enhanced toward weakly interacting organosulfur compounds (OSC) from sulfur-rich diesel fuel. Sulfur compounds are selectively removed from diesel after ... -
Mechanistic and adsorption equilibrium studies of dibenzothiophene-rich-diesel on MnO2-loaded-activated carbon: Surface characterization
( John Wiley and Sons Inc. , 2017 , Article)In this work, the preparation and characterization of MnO2-modified-activated carbon for selective removal of organosulfur compounds including dibenzothiophene were outlined. The deposited particles of the modifier were ... -
Novel LiAlO2 Material for Scalable and Facile Lithium Recovery Using Electrochemical Ion Pumping
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)In this study, α-LiAlO2 was investigated for the first time as a Li-capturing positive electrode material to recover Li from aqueous Li resources. The material was synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis and air annealing, ... -
Optimizing the Extraction Conditions of Hydroxytyrosol from Olive Leaves Using a Modified Spherical Activated Carbon: A New Experimental Design
( Hindawi , 2022 , Article)The purification of hydroxytyrosol from olive leaves extract by modified activated carbon was studied experimentally in a batch system and a column by adsorption and desorption processes. The extraction yield reached 90% ... -
Removal of crystal violet from wastewater using resorcinol-formaldehyde carbon xerogels
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2016 , Article)Resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogels (RF-ACXs) were prepared at different conditions. RF-ACXs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, surface area and porosity analyzer, X-rays diffraction, ... -
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2015 , Article)With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ... -
Using electric power to synthesize resorcinol-formaldehyde gels with enhanced characteristics
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2020 , Article)A novel electrochemical approach was introduced for crosslinking resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) gels at room temperature without utilizing a catalyst or a buffer. The electrochemically cross-linked gels and their subsequent ...
